Just a few personal notes and observations:
- I wouldn't put too much into the rankings themselves but the profiles are extremely helpful for those who don't get to watch a lot of OHL games (especially the longer writeups)
- The comparisons to current NHLers are nice to have but use them with caution. Obviously these player comparables are "best guesses" and it appears they are using them based on the OHLers' style of play (not production). For example, Mark Scheifele was compared to Joe Thornton but that is likely based on the fact that he's a larger body who likes to "pass first". However, some comparables are spot on: Dougie Hamilton= Ryan Suter, Rakell=Eriksson and Landeskog=M. Richards (easy one though)
- In the Rankings there are a few changes I would make. Personally, I would not rank Matt Peumpel above players like Nicklas Jensen Boone Jenner or even Khokhlachev. Jensen is a Top 10 OHL talent in this draft class and the same can be said for Khokhlachev too. Rakell is one player I love to watch in the OHL this season.
- Again, use the profile section as a tool moreso than the Rankings.
- One thing that interests me for the upcoming Entry Draft is where players like Shane Prince (smaller) and Daniel Catenacci will be drafted. I watched Catenacci play a few weeks back and he dominated the game. If he slides a team could be getting a steal. Catenacci should likely be drafted in the late first/early second round.
- One heads up: The writeup under Khokhlachev seems to be for Shane Prince. I contacted the writer and hopefully he fixes it as I am very interested to read about Khokhlachev (now that I have learned how to spell his name).
Those are just a few of my initial thoughts.
